I thought the answer to why there are no million dollar movie posters is that
buyers are tired of auctions that have that "For Millionaires Only" sign at the
entrance, and are instead turning to auctions where they can instead buy
hundreds of items every week for low, low prices (perhaps even half
Just got the Heritage catalog for their upcoming Signature auction and all I can
say is WOW!
At a time when you start to wonder if print catalogs are really necessary,
Heritage shows why they are.
I am seeing so many great items that I didn't see when I looked through the
selection online.

I pretty much agree with you Evan.
Let the free market decide the price on everything.
There is no intrinsic value in movie posters, and while it might help both the

This would only be a problem for cars and houses if they regularly started
selling for $1, but they don't. And in fact the downward risk is so much less

The copy of This Gun for Hire that closed on October 19th for $11,817.00 had an
opening bid of $33.33
